That's the first quarterly shortfall since China's foreign exchange regulator began compiling the data in 1998, which could be linked to the impact of "de-risking" by Western countries from China amid growing geopolitical tensions.

Truist Financial reported a near 31% drop in third-quarter profit on Thursday as the lender's interest income from mortgages and credit-card debt declined while it allocated more funds towards rainy-day reserves to cover potential sour loans.

Truist's net interest income for the three months ended Sept. 30 fell 4.3% to $3.62 billion, compared with a year earlier.
